- As a result of direct diplomatic and military pressure exerted by the Soviet Union and blackmail by Germany and Italy in support of the aggressor, in June 1940 the Romanian administration and army left, without resistance, the territory of Bessarabia. The aim of the research is to reconstruct, in the spirit of truth and within the limits of historical objectivity, the events that occurred in a very complex and equally controversial period in the history of Cahul county – the withdrawal of the Romanian authorities and the establishment of the soviet occupation regime in summer 1940. In order to elucidate the subject, was used the method of content analysis of the official documents drawn up by the competent authorities of the „Lower Danube” Land, contained in the archive funds. A reliable source of information on the early days of soviet occupation is the refugees’ testimonies from Bessarabia. Forced and disorderly withdrawal of Romanian troops and administration caused by the actions of soviet troops that did not meet the deadlines for the invasion of Bessarabia, generated chaos and uncertainty among the population. Although they provided stoning information, marked by personal feelings, they are still an important source of information because they were provided by eyewitnesses of the events. The disorganized withdrawal of state institutions and the army was greatly disrupted by the interventions of minority groups and the abusive behavior of soviet troops. The hostile actions of the minority against Romanian refugees and soldiers are mainly related to the sabotage and propaganda actions of the Soviet Union, as well as to internal factors that failed to integrate these ethnic groups over two decades of the Romanian administration. From the very first days of soviet occupation, soviet-type power structures were created in Bessarabia, and a number of political, economic, social and propaganda measures were taken to establish the soviet regime as soon as possible. The repressive measures taken by the new authorities caused discontent among the population, causing disappointment even to those who enjoyed the „moment of liberation”.
